The Shark HD544® creative potential is endless. Professional fabricators, Universities, and Makers use our diverse woodworking tools to make custom parts, joinery, precision drilling functions, or decorative components.  

The Shark HD544® offers true 4ft x 4ft machining capacity in an open-base platform. The XYZ travel of 50” x 50” x 7” is built with heavy-duty industrial components that support rapid movement up to 400 inches per minute.

The Shark HD544® is fully compatible with Next Wave CNC’s extensive product line of accessories, such as lasers, 4th axes, digitizers, and more. Optimize your workshop with our largest machine yet. The Shark HD544® is made in the USA, comes with a two-year warranty, and includes U.S.-based technical support.

The Shark HD544® is ready to assemble and mounts to a minimum recommended 64” x 64” table. The Shark HD544® includes a 3 hp water-cooled spindle, 10.1” color pendant controller, and features a closed-loop system for higher accuracy, robust ultra-precision leadscrews on all axes, and our patented Virtual Zero Unlimited software.  

The Shark HD544® offers two control options.  

1. Design your project using VCarve Pro software (available separately). Once the design is ready, transfer it to a USB drive. Plug the USB drive directly into the LCD pendant. This pendant features a convenient touch screen interface that eliminates the need for a computer to control the CNC in your shop.
   
   
2. You can run the Shark HD544® from your computer with the Ready2Control program for more control and interactivity. This lets you use the exclusive, patented Virtual Zero Unlimited® program.  Our program will adjust your design to fit curves and angles that would be impossible on other brands of machines. (Computer and flash drive not included).
